Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently become successful in radiation oncology thanks to its exquisite soft tissue contrast and radiation free properties. This image modality can be therefore excellent also in a particle therapy (PT) workflow. In this chapter, we will overview the current and potential use of MRI in PT in treatment planning and delivery, with a dedicated section on the novel technology integrating MRI with proton therapy units.
